    Shiano Bikes

    Hi guys Check Shiano bikes on Amazon. I managed to buy this one for £404 https://www.amazon.co.uk/F-lli-Schiano-Womens-Moon-Bike/dp/B09VLGZTMD/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 Great value for money IMO. Still quite a few good offers there

    Help! What should be the budget for an e-bike?

    Sdream Ur 500 Looks nice and affordable. Fork is a show off though. And it has rear suspension

    Help! What should be the budget for an e-bike?

    What do you mean by professional ebike? Bike on pictures doesn't look professional at all.

    Pre-conversion help/research

    Why mid drive? You will loose front gears. I don't think it is a good choice in your case. NIce bike Throttle is legal, but there is a speed restriction.

    Safety wear

    Non MIPS helmet to blend in and as protection from sun. I rarely use straps. Sunglasses as UV, wind and insect protection.

    Beautiful bike and super tidy conversion. Awful battery, but there is very little what can be done about that.

    Pre-Purchase advice. (Help me making a major mistake) - About to buy it!!!

    Don't be afraid of conversion. Installing a front hub motor is as easy as changing wheel and attaching battery to bike. Yes, it will take time and will cost some money, but in return you will get total control over your bike, components and maintenance. Bike is an investment for years. Take that...

    Refurb/rebuild

    I have installed my downtube battery exactly as Guerney described. It turns out I am not as original and not as smart as I thought ;) Battery mounted on pannier rack can be concealed completely if you want to. I had such a plan, but then my wife told me she is proud to have an electric bike so...

    Carrera Hellcat Conversion

    So... it took me only one month and two days from moment when I ordered conversion kit, but finally bike is ready (almost ready to be precise). I am quite happy with how it looks. Still have to add PAS and brake sensors, but I struggle to remove crank and will have to order better wrench or...

    Carrera Hellcat Conversion

    Just for the record... I ordered YosePower kit 28" (link available in first post). Straight out of the box it won't work with Carrera Hellcat 18" frame as controller is where mounting holes should be. I also have some concerns regarding safety. I am confident though with some minor...

    Yose Kit Battery

    I do have multimeter, but it won't be easy to find. Fuse is not easily accessible unfortunately. I don't want to open controller as whole kit or just battery might be going back. It is not a silly question at all. There are only two buttons on battery, so not so many combinations. I think I...

    Yose Kit Battery

    Hi guys, Yesterday I have received a Yose front wheel kit. Problem is battery arrived completely flat. I put it on charge for few hours yesterday. I installed the wheel and thought before I start drilling through frame it would be good to check if it all works. I connected wheel, battery, LCD...

    If you were going to buy a bike to convert....

    Which is illegal, isn't it? Don't think it is a good advice. Having a rare opportunity to buy a bike for conversion it is good to plan few steps ahead as DIY conversion is not as straightforward as one might think. For example Deore 1x11 is much better than Deore 3x10 for mid drive...

    If you were going to buy a bike to convert....

    Hi Guerney, As you said your conversion might not be the tidiest one, but as long as it is fun and brings joy to your life it is all that matters, right? I like your long exposure picture and love your story. I only want to bring your attention to quick release skewers. Can't see well on your...

    If you were going to buy a bike to convert....

    I think it is easier to choose conversion kit first and then choose a bike. There are plenty of bikes to choose from reliable retailers or Ebay while I really struggle to find a well priced conversion kit from reliable source.

    Carrera Hellcat Conversion

    I received a reply from Yose Power: "sorry, 28" kit isn't fit for 29" bike. " I am confused now. I thought wheel rims 28", 700C and 29" are all the exact same rim diameter...
